It’s 2019! Can you believe it? Don’t you hate when people say that? It’s kind of repetitive because most people say it every year… “I can’t believe it’s a new year.” We make big goals. We have big plans. We go to crowded gym classes and buy piles of dieting books. We vow to spend less time on our emails and to have more of a social life. Everyone goes in with the same mindset… This is going to be THE YEAR. That enthusiasm and positive energy only tend to last for a few weeks before falling back into even older habits and then the cycle starts up again around…

With so many to choose from it was hard to narrow it down. 2017- #protectmypeace 2018- #protectmyjoy These past 2 years was turbulent in business and relationships, it was hard to see through the thick of it. But as usual, it forced me to up-level my thinking and beliefs to the next higher plain. I noticed (and my friends have pointed out) that I became suspicious, doubtful, and pessimistic over the experiences these past couple years. It’s hard to keep a positive outlook when people gossip, compete, and want to see you fail. It’s easy to grow to expect gloom around every corner after the past few years I’ve had.…

“I look back on pictures and remember I used to think I was out of shape. But I was fine. I looked great.” If you haven’t thought that yet, I’m sure you will some day in the future as you look back & wish you appreciated what you had. It’s common. “Content” brings uneasy mixed feelings for goal-getters. How am I supposed to go for more when I’m supposed to be content with where I am? But on the contrary… Being content doesn’t mean to settle. We can still want to know what our possibilities & potential are. I want to experience all I can at my one shot here…

So rare, the flu hit our house hard. Christmas Netflix #3… Be warned, there are some really good new ones & it’s hard to stop! I had plans and being in my room for almost a week was not a part of it. I wanted to get things knocked off of the To-Do-List and get a head start on my 2019 goals (especially working out and getting ready for the stage next year). Here’s a tip for preventing goal disappointment: Set goals–> make a plan–> have something to aim for…. But practice the yogic philosophy of ‘unattachment’. 1. Some plans need a speed bump to slow down & appreciate the…

I *HAD* a habit of checking social media first thing. It’s easy.. my phone is my morning alarm and the brain is wired by repetition to check my apps. Does anyone else check social media first thing in the morning and want to stop? Key process of removing a bad habit is replacing it. And to replace it, the mind has to have a destination to aim for. A clear vision of where it is heading. Writing down exact directives to the brain makes a wish into a concrete plan. Write your directives in your planner as a to-do-list. Even keep post-its visually in sight so that the mind is…

Success in 20 yrs of Business & Marriage was NOT easy. Time for being a mom, self-care, friendships, personal development, health, fitness, spirituality, & hobbies was typically scrap left over energy. 5 yr business in financial services morphed to a mind and physique transformation boutique called Victory Get Fit Club established 2005, evolved to certified life coach, then becoming a figure competitor from previous marathon runner, now a certified judge for the North American Body Building Federation and a producer of the drug free Victory Natural NW show. Overcoming challenges, pressures, and new unthinkable goals has lead me to create Slay & Shine, to help women organize, plan, & take strategic action to manifest a life she loves living.
